So as you can see in the title I have finally broke down and bought a Red Sea max 170 with the sump upgrade after I saw that my LFS was doing a 15% discount on them. But I haven't filled this tank yet but I will probably buy some water to fill later today, this is MY first tank, but I helped take care of one at the LFS I help out at. But basically I know I want corals, there my favorite thing in the reefing hobby. I will probably keep the Red Sea skimmer in the back chamber along with the media basket then in the sump upgrade I will most likely do a refugium. The light is a AI hydra 26, and I might get a MP-10, if not I might just get 2 korelias to tide me over till I get the MP-10. So now that you all know the equipment im running im wondering what livestock I can keep.
Coral
-GSP (separate rock)
-Finger Leather
-Toadstool
-Zoas
-Hammer
-Frogspawn
-Candycane
-Elegence
-Possibly acans
-Later down the line a Monti cap or two.
-And then any other corals that I might find interesting later down the line.
Fish (I order from what will be added last to what will be added first)
-Pair of Occ. Clowns
-Yellow corris wrasse (favorite fish)
-Yellow clown goby
-Pearly jawfish
Inverts
- 3-4 Narrsarius snails
- 3-4 Trochus snails
- Cleaner shrimp
Clams (later after tank has matured)
-1 Maxima
-1 Deresa
The tank is about 24x24x24
Any thoughts much appreciated
